The Pazzo and others with the 6061 (?) formula are more aluminum thus slightly lighter. The other knockoffs that are not the same grade have more amounts of other metals mixed in with the aluminum. They may be a slight amount heavier but still lighter than stock in most cases.
6061-T6
T6 temper 6061 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi (290 MPa) and yield strength of at least 35,000 psi (241 MPa). More typical values are 45,000 psi (310 MPa) and 40,000 psi (275 MPa), respectively. 6061 is widely used for construction of aircraft structures, such as wings and fuselages, more commonly in homebuilt aircraft than commercial or military aircraft, yacht construction, including small utility boats, the construction of bicycle frames and components, automotive parts, such as wheel spacers, the manufacture of aluminum cans for the packaging of foodstuffs and beverages and in SCUBA tanks (post 1995)
7075-T6
T6 temper 7075 has an ultimate tensile strength of 510 - 538 MPa and yield strength of at least 434-476 MPa. It has failure elongation of 5-8%. 7000 series alloys such as 7075 are often used in transport applications, including marine, automotive and aviation applications, due to their high strength-to-density ratio.[2][3] Its strength and light weight are also desirable in other fields. Rock climbing equipment, bicycle components, and hang glider airframes are commonly made from 7075 aluminium alloy. The bicycle industry is also using 7005 and 6061 aluminium alloys. Hobby grade RC models commonly use 7075-T6 and 6061 for chassis plates. One interesting use for 7075 is in the manufacture of M16 rifles for the American military. It is also commonly used in shafts for lacrosse sticks, and camping knife and fork sets.
